Join DCASE and
Chicago Food Policy Action Council at the 14th Annual Chicago Food Policy Summit, and connect with food workers, farmers, vendors, and local leaders to discuss food policy and critical issues involving climate change, labor, food access, urban farming and the economics of food production in Chicago, Cook County and Illinois. This event is a culmination of the past year's of food justice efforts and accomplishments, including Cook County's adoption of the Good Food Purchasing Policy, and an opportunity for us to collectively imagine how we can transform food the system to support health and equity for all. The day will consist of workshops, speakers, hand-ons on activities, food demos, a marketplace of resources and vendors, and a Food Business Clinic.
